Great shape for winter!

Course was in great shape for winter. 3.5 hours for 18 holes. My only complaint is that too many golfers do not replace their divots. It's not that hard and makes the course look much better.

Under new management

For a winter day, the course was in good shape. The greens were slow compared to previous rounds. Greens were hard under top layer grass. There were way too many ball marks on the greens. People weren't even attempting to fix their ball marks. Still, not a bad day on the links.

Great time, under rated awesome course!

Deceptively difficult and beautiful layouts. Some tight landings off your drives and even if your on the green putting for birdie, you’ll still be happy if you walk off with a par hah!

Worst pace of play EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

Worst pace of play ever! 3 hours for 9 holes! Ridiculous! Especially on a Tuesday. I actually timed the group ahead of me on a hole.... 18 minutes. Couldn’t even play a full 18 cause I didn’t anticipate a 6 hour round.Started at 11:30, finished #9 @ 2:40. Just plain ridiculous

Decent above average course

Course in pretty good condition - fairways, tees, greens all nice. Only sand traps need work - as do a lot of courses’ sand this time of year. We applied a “free drop behind the trap” rule for our round. Decent 4 hr pace for our foursome. Breezy sunny cool late August day. Good $5 “at the turn” lunch special. This is a nicer course with some better hole layouts and challenges, but nothing overly tough.

Best for Course around for the Value

You can not play a better course for the value anywhere in 50 miles. They have a friendly staff and the course drains well after rain. They have the best and hardest 3 hole finish in the area. The 16rh hole is very challenging, your gonna wanna stay left but not too far left where you could hit it out of bounce. Just left if the water but right of the bunker, to give yourself a chance on this hole. Stay after at the 19th hole and you will be treated right.

Course needs Management

I played twilight golf here on August 9th with my son. It was the worst pace of play in my 50 year golf career. They have a ranger so bad out there he should pay them to work there. The group that was so slow in front of us was his friends and he did nothing to speed up the pace of play. This is the reason why golfers don’t want to play the game anymore. This is by the worse ran golf course in all of Chicagoland. Don’t waist your money on this course you will be extremely disappointed. If I could rate this course at a negative number I would.
